Treadmills are relatively simple machines, which means a burning smell can be quickly determined.

Check your treadmill belt for wear. Try to find where on the treadmill feels hot when you smell the burning. It could possibly be the electric motor or wiring giving out under load.

1996 Grand Marquis lets off gas smell through A/C vents after about 10 min with A/C on and more so when idle ???

Does the smell happen if you are running the hvac on just vent ?
The ac itself would not cause a smell unless the clutch on the compressor were slipping and you would probably hear that.
Its a sealed system just like your fridge at home.
So it could be something in the engine compartment that is coming thru the vent when the ac is on. The most common smell is a musty or mold smell from moisture inside the hvac.

Aircon works fine for 5 min after starting car then funny smell and nothing but warm air. when revs kept low might come on again for few min

Check the compressor when you notice the smell. See if its running or not. It could also be the blower motor itself. I'd suggest checking the blower motor first off. Those usually only last a few years, and if it got wet some how it could have rusted or corroded on the inside. Or a wire broke on the inside and it shorts out to ground which could explain the smell.

Wont shift out of 1st

It sounds like the bands inside the transmission are burnt. one way to check is pull you trans dipstick and smell the fluid and see if it smells burnt and the fluid should also be bright red. i have burnt a few trans myself and they did that.lol

Headlights won't work

relay was stuck.  Now you replace the relay and a few burnt fuses and the burnt wiring.  You should have fixed this at the first warning sign of a problem...sadly, now you pay the price for not doing so.
